With Fedora 9, there is only DomU support in the kernels.
If you need Dom0 Support, you have to use Fedora 8 for Dom0.
This is because Fedora is trying to get the xen patches integrated in the
mainline kernel. They have managed to do this for DomU, but there seem to be
some conflicts between the Dom0 patches and more recent versions of the
kernel.
